Overactive bladder (OAB) is a sudden, hard-to-defer need to urinate, often with frequency and night-time urination, and sometimes with urge leakage. It is common in both women and men and can significantly disrupt daily life and sleep.

It is very manageable. We confirm the pattern, rule out other causes such as infection, and treat with a combination of bladder training, lifestyle measures, medication and in-clinic therapies.
A clear, step-by-step pathway — with same-day testing wherever possible, and kind, attentive care.
A short bladder diary and history confirm the pattern of urgency and frequency.
Urinalysis and ultrasound exclude infection, stones and incomplete emptying.
Fluid timing, bladder-training techniques and trigger reduction are first-line.
Medication to calm the bladder and, where suitable, magnetic stimulation therapy.
A simple bladder diary — noting when and how much you drink and urinate — is one of the most useful tools for overactive bladder, and it often reveals easy wins such as reducing caffeine or evening fluids before any medication is needed.
Overactive bladder is assessed methodically here and treated with the least intrusive effective option first, by a board-certified urologist and member of the Korean Continence Society. Care is discreet, with English-speaking support.
Not exactly — OAB is about urgency and frequency, and it may or may not include leakage. When it does, that is urge incontinence. We assess both.
Often the first steps are bladder training and lifestyle changes, which help many people. Medication and in-clinic therapy are added if needed.
Night-time urination has several causes, including OAB. We assess the pattern and look for contributing factors.
Yes — while often discussed in women, OAB affects men as well, sometimes alongside prostate symptoms.
